- March 7, 1993 - My flight from Washington Dulles to London Heathrow aboard the British Airways Concorde. This was shot with Sony Hi8 camera on a SteadiCam. The pilot was so fascinated with the SteadiCam that he invited me into the cockpit. This was the experience of a lifetime! The return flight is also here on youtube. Search for London to Washington. Enjoy!
This speed is hard to comprehend. I worked with an old Austrian dude in the early 80s. He was fascinated by this plane. Knew everything about it. He saved up his money for a year. He said he was going to take a flight before they were grounded. Don't know if he ever did. Awesome plane
To think that you could do this route faster in 1968 than 2020 speaks a volume!
Crazy to think you could get up in the morning in the U.S, fly to London, have dinner, then fly home to be in bed by normal time.
1360 MPH is absolutely mindblowing!
I miss the days when you could visit the cockpit while in flight.
In February 1996, a Concorde travelled the 3,750 miles between New York and London in a record 2hr 52min 59 sec.
No entertainment system, just a speed counter an altimeter and the roaring engines.... I think Concorde was an aviation geek plane ;)
So sad it was more than half empty. One of the many reasons we don't see it today
Engineers that invented and made concorde, they were mad! what a cockpit!
There is one word to describe why she no longer flies: bureaucracy...
How times have changed, can you imagine the captain inviting you into the cockpit now?!
I flew in her for my 30th birthday present. Undoubtedly one of the highlights of my life.
Then: A dude filming for memories and for family
this video is 25 years old and how ahead of its time was this amazing machine travelling at mach 2 1300mph so sleek and beautiful I miss you Concorde
I wish they could bring Concorde back....flying twice the speed of sound, AMAZING! This plane could have undergone several advancement and developments by now.
While I love watching videos about Concorde, I always have a heavy heart knowing that I'll never get to fly in one. She was the best....
She was the most beautiful airliner ever built, and to feel the power of her engines from the runway as she took off was awesome.
Lucky to say I've flown on Concorde, and was told by the captain that we were the highest people in the world as noone was on the current space station. That was cool :) We flew from Heathrow to New York in 3 hours, now days the flight takes 8 hours commercially, it's crazy.
I live in the British Channel Islands, and we always used to hear her go supersonic over the Channel at the same time every evening on her way across the Atlantic, fond memories
absolutely brilliant aircraft 60.000 feet wow mind blowing.
